Instone Real Estate started construction work on the "Marie" residential project in Frankfurt am Main right on schedule before the end of last year. On the grounds of the former hospital "St. Marienkrankenhaus," Instone will develop 236 flats, thereof 181 condominiums that the company will sell in its own right. On top of that, 55 subsidised rental flats will be created in conjunction with the project to revitalise the former nurses' dormitory that will be handed over to the municipal housing association ABG Frankfurt upon their completion. The former nurses' dormitory and one section of the freehold apartment complex will feature one day-care centre for children each. The dismantling work and the bulk of the civil engineering work have already been completed, and the construction of the eight house types that together will form the "Marie" apartment complex is now under way. In architectonic terms, the project blends smoothly with the rest of the Nordend sub-district in Frankfurt, which is partially characterised by Belle -poque buildings. Some sections of the "Marie" project's exterior will be modelled on the original architecture. This will create a characteristic fa-ade that emulates the historic flair of the location. Some of the condominiums in the project are built as part of the Frankfurt program for the promotion of new residential accommodation for owner-occupied homes, and are therefore price-reduced.
